2018 Glenguin Shiraz ‘Aristea’ - Hunter Valley
Vineyard; predominantly from the Schoolhouse Block at Glenguin. A raised ancient river bench of deep gravel over clay soils, sustainable farming with permanent grasses throughout. No glyphosate herbicide or pesticides used. Hand pruned and handpicked.
Deep red/purple colour, with a plum-cake, pepper and chocolate aroma, ripe and warm-grown, with blackberry nuances and medium to full-bodied, rich palate. Eastern spices and dried herbs – thyme and oregano. The tannins are quite firm and rugged, the balance good and the texture quite dense. A robust style of shiraz for the Hunter, and quite superb.
